From Keith Haring To The Screen Generation
Tethys Art opens its first season of exhibitions in Southampton with a show dedicated to two artistic currents that have opened new conversations within the institutional art world: street art and digital art.
The 20th century is defined by the creation of mass culture, and its ability to share ideas that affect political, cultural, and social changes via television, and later, the Internet. The creation of such mass-generated ideologies allowed for the development of a counter-culture as young individuals look for more and more radical ways to express themselves and technology becomes a larger part of our lives.
Born on the streets of Downtown New York in the 鈥�80s, with personalities like Keith Haring using the city as their canvas, street art became the medium of rebellion and counter-culture. The aesthetic of contemporary street artists still draws from their predecessors, but now these works have found recognition in both the primary and secondary markets.
